Publix will be having their grand opening for the new store on Thursday, Dec. 10. This project has been years in the making with the land it's built on being annexed by the city back in 2016. The newly built store will be located at the intersection of 72nd Trace and U.S. Highway 129 on the northern end of Live Oak. The grocery store will also have a convenient feature not found at the old location that many may be taken advantage of: a drive-thru pharmacy. Some employees from the current location at Ohio Ave. S are expected to be going to the new store. There will be other shops in the Live Oak Crossing shopping center besides Publix, but much of the particulars of that information has yet to be made available to the public.
